You make a VDI. You install your KNOPPIX to the VDI. Just like the VDI
was a harddrive. Reboot. Install whatever package KNOPPIX calls the
'developer tools' and I install DKMS'. Connect the GA iso, mount it, and
run the install script. It will compile the various drivers. When done
you reboot and configure the video resolution.

DKMS should take care of any kernel updates since the drivers have to be
compiled for each new kernel.
